Recently Arrested Alec Baldwin Gets Some Bad News About His TV Show

John Bickley

Alec Baldwin may generally enjoy the special protections of a Hollywood liberal when it comes to crass comments and outrageous behavior, but it appears that the lethal mixture of horrible ratings and an embarrassing arrest was a bit too much for ABC to keep propping up his self-described “good show.” Baldwin’s new show is the only new addition to ABC’s lineup this season to be relocated to another time slot, and one that is clearly a “demotion.”

On Friday, the infamously ill-behaved Baldwin was arrested on charges of assaulting a guy Baldwin says stole his parking spot. “It looks like it was a dispute over the parking spot, and the person in custody punched him,” New York Police Department Det. Sophia Mason said. The man in custody, Mason confirmed, was Baldwin, who was booked at the 6th Precinct station.
